If you purchase a mobile home but the manufacturer goes bankrupt, who is responsible for the damages listed in your buyer contract?
I bought a brand new mobile home 7 years ago and the floors have been replaced 2 times by people it picked to fix the problem. However, evidently they didn’t fix the problem; it’s happened again. I called the maker but it went bankrupt 2 years ago. I don’t feel that I should have to find pay. My homeowner’s can’t help. What can I do?

If the manufacturer of the mobile home went bankrupt and you are still having issues with the item and need it fixed, the recourse is possibly making a claim against the insurance carrier for the mobile home as to the problems you have.
Just because the manufacturer is no longer in business, if it had an insurance policy in place when you bought it, there might be insurance coverage to repair your problems.
